Case Report: Immediate Implants in Compromised Hard and Soft Tissue Aesthetic Zone
Dr. B Arunkumar MDS.
PDF
Show Abstract
Tooth loss in the aesthetic region is often a traumatic experience for the patient. Trauma to upper anterior teeth is common, and their loss can lead to significant aesthetic and functional problems. Immediate Implant placement in the aesthetic zone with compromised hard and soft tissues is a challenging situation requiring careful planning to get the desirable outcome. Immediate implant placement is a well-accepted treatment modality that has been shown to have high cumulative survival rates ranging 92 - 100% [2-5]. This is a case report of 28 year old female, who lost her front tooth in a road traffic accident and the how the bone regeneration was successfully achieved along with immediate implants placement.

Irineu Gregnanin Pedron, Maria Eugenia da Silva Cezere, Estevam Rubens Utumi, João Marcelo Ferreira de Medeiros and Caleb Shitsuka.
PDF
Show Abstract
Gingival overgrowth is characterized by tissue enlargement of inflammatory origin and can assume varied sizes and are usually treated by surgical excision. The recurrence of the lesion is usually justified by the persistence of the etiological agent, such as the presence of biofilm and dental calculus, causing chronic periodontal disease. The purpose of this article is to present the case of a patient with gingival overgrowth concomitant with chronic periodontal disease, whose therapy was the basic periodontal treatment, causing remission of a large part of the lesion, and surgical excision in order to elucidate the final diagnosis and eliminate injury completely. The present case demonstrates the importance of the oral hygiene process - constituted by the use of conventional, interdental and tuff toothbrushes, and dental floss - and the periodontal treatment prior to the surgical excision of the lesion, improving the clinical and histopathological aspects and favoring the prognosis of the lesion.

The Association between the Type of Bad Oral Habit and the Kind of Malocclusion in Children
Marina Belfer.
PDF
Show Abstract
Malocclusion is usually known as an inherited or congenital condition. However, in many cases it is caused in early childhood by prolonged use of a pacifier or bottle/breast feeding, thumb/foreign object sucking, injuries that result in the misalignment of the jaw, poor dental care that results in improperly fitting dental restorations or untreated carious lesions, primary teeth extractions without space maintainers, mouth breathing, potentially caused by allergies or airway obstruction by enlarged adenoids/tonsils or bad habits. The consequences of malocclusion in children are deplorable, leading to improper alignment of the teeth, alteration in the appearance of the face, self-esteem problems, frequent biting of the inner cheeks or tongue, discomfort when chewing or biting, speech problems, including the development of a lisp, mouth breathing resulting in adenoid and long face formation, trauma and caries susceptibility. It is therefore important to explore the association between the type of bad oral habit and the kind of malocclusion in children in order to predict the future malocclusion type in early childhood and educate parents with evidence-based data how to prevent malocclusion development in their children.

MID - An Overlooked Paradigm for Caries Management
Asaad J Mirza.
PDF
Show Abstract
Minimal intervention dentistry (MID) is a contemporary dental treatment approach provided with the most important endeavor to conserve as much of the natural hard tooth tissues as possible. It involves caries risk assessment and focuses on the early diagnosis, prevention and intervention of dental caries. The concept of MID has evolved due to our deeper insight into caries disease process and the advent of better biorestorative materials and incorpora-tion of modern technology in dental profession. It has now been globally accepted that early detected non-cavitated carious lesion in enamel and dentine can repair through remineralization.

Orofacial Harmonization and Botulinum Toxin Application in the Context of Dentistry
Irineu Gregnanin Pedron.
PDF
Show Abstract
Currently, facial aesthetics have been growing exponentially due to the performance of the dental surgeon. This new approach was initiated by the use of botulinum toxin in stomatological indications, particularly in cases of gummy smile and parafunctional habits such as bruxism and briquism, having achieved facial cosmetic applications [1-5]. At the same time, other materials and procedures were included in Orofacial Harmonization, such as the application of facial fillers, notably hyaluronic acid; facial lifting (polydioxanone thread); autologous blood derivates; percutaneous collagen inducers (micro needling); hormonal regulation; biophotonic procedures and/or laser therapy; facial lipoplasty, by chemical, physical or mechanical techniques; bichectomy (surgical technique of removal of the adipose body of Bichat); and surgical techniques for lip correction (liplifting). Recently, in Brazil, Orofacial Harmonization was regulated as a dental specialty by the Federal Council of Dentistry

Dentistry for Disabled Fellow Beings
Asaad J Mirza.
PDF
Show Abstract
The Disability is a condition attributable to an intellectual, psy-chiatric, neurological, cognitive, or physical impairment that sub-stantially restricts a sufferer’s everyday activities. People having disabilities suffer from the same health problems as non-disabled persons and therefore have similar health treatment needs. Infor-mation available in the published literature indicates that disabled fellow beings encounter barriers in accessing the professional health services they inevitably require for their required treat-ment and rehabilitation. Individuals with mental and physical im-pairment cannot effectively brush and clean their teeth as they are unable to recognize their oral health care needs and therefore are highly predisposed to dental and oral diseases.

Show Abstract
Currently, the dental surgeon's performance at the aesthetic-facial level, and not only the health-based one, is notorious, even though the definition of health of the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not only absence of affections and diseases" contemplates aesthetics as part of health. In this perspective, for some time, the dental surgeon - particularly in Latin America and some European countries - has been expanding his range of facial aesthetics interventions using a large variety of techniques and biomaterials: botulinum toxin, facial fillers, bichectomy, lifting and submandibular papillary liposuction, laser in facial region, administration of hormones, in short, a huge range of aesthetic procedures that were once single and exclusive performance of dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

Placement of Dental Implant after Use of Guided Bone Regeneration with Polypropylene Membrane
Irineu Gregnanin Pedron, Munir Salomão, João Marcelo Ferreira de Medeiros, Caleb Shitsuka and Luiz Carlos Magno Filho
PDF
Show Abstract
One of the principles of modern Implantology is the maintenance of soft and hard tissues or the reduction of bone resorption, particularly after the exodontia. The teeth extraction beginning of resorption of the alveolar bone. The resorption is more in width than the height. In this perspective, the maintenance of the blood clot inside the alveolus is essential to avoid invagination of the epithelial tissue. The guided bone regeneration technique proposes the regeneration of the bone defect using occlusive membranes. Angiogenesis and chemotaxis of cells competent for bone formation is only possible with the maintenance of immobility of the clot. Blood cells, particularly platelets, are most responsible for encoding and producing new bone tissue through bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which will repair the post-surgical alveolus. The purpose of this article is present a case of placement of dental implant after use of guided bone regeneration with polypropylene membrane.

Case Report: The Clinical Application of Surgical Placement and Restoration with an Irradiated Patient
Aref Almahayni and Nabeel Rashid
PDF
Show Abstract
Previous treatment with Radiotherapy has adverse effects on normal host tissue, which in turn limits the availability of restorative options. Risk factors linked to the surgical procedures include Infections (3%), implant loss, poor healing, bleeding and increased bone loss have been reported in most studies on clinical outcomes of dental implants [1]. One of the recognized and severe complications of radiation therapy is Osteoradionecrosis (ORN). Survival of implant supported single crowns in normal healthy patients at 5 years data were 94.5% [2]. While tooth supported fixed-fixed bridge would have had 85% survival at 15 years, it should be noted that increased failure rate when patients have been treated with a high radiotherapy dose (over 60 Gy). The aim of this paper is to show that surgical implants can be placed and restored in irradiated patients when taking into consideration proper planning in low dosage fields.

Considerations in Oral Cancer Diagnosis
Marta Miyazawa.
PDF
Show Abstract
According to GLOBOCAN 2018 around 228.000 deaths were caused by lip, oral and oropharynx cancer, and there were more than 443.000 new cases of these malignant tumors [1]. The late diagnosis compromises profoundly the quality of life of oral cancer patients and treatment outcome. Despite all the knowledge accumulated in all these years of cancer research, so far, the best chance for the patient to get cured of his cancer is the early diagnosis [2]. Therefore, the early detection is imperative to improve the prognosis for head and neck cancers.
